Wooohooo I love Kanye! With this show and The Black Keys, Summerfest is finally bringing relevant acts in...thank you. And to all the haters, there is actually decent music that isn't country or 80's hair bands.

Haha Middleground really cracks me up. You'll see how far your masters will get you at the (concert?.?.?) event. Your fellow event goers eat guys like you for snacks. If you are lucky enough to get out unscathed, you'll be leading the "racist" protests and boycotts the following year!

tompeters... Sorry to disappoint you but I am originally from New York City. So I lived in the most diverse population area on earth. Living a working in NYC I have seen and heard first hand that there are racist everywhere. There is a difference; the people who live in NYC may say some messed up things but for the most part they mind their own business and don't post on Newspaper websites to spew their hate speech. Why? Because they have better things to do.

The same scenario plays out in Milwaukee. I live and work here now and hear ignorant racist comments all the time. But again, the people who actually live in the city have better things to do with their time than post some racist drivel on a newspaper website about the type of crowd a black rapper would bring to Summer fest.

Look at all the comments in most of the news stories in this site and you'll see a very clear trend. The people who comment the most are usually the ones who call the Journal Sentinel a liberal newspaper, say that the newspaper is worthless, and that liberals are scum. Now tell me, how many people in the city of Milwaukee would really waste their time making comments of that nature? The Burbs and Waukesha on the other hand are filled with individuals who love to hate anything and everything that has to do with Milwaukee or minorities (especially black people). If a black person commits a crime these people are quick to blame a whole race for the actions of one.

At least around these parts, the haters are clearly from the burbs and waukesha. The truth is the truth, get used to it...or don't.

How dare they ruin my family friendly festival? Those upper middle class college educated hip-hoppers from Wauwatosa in their J-Crew polos are going to wreck Mil-Town. Their intelligent hip-hop is going to ruin us I tell ya.

You morons have no idea who Kanye's and Kid Cudi's fanbase is, do you? For one, this 32 year old, upper middle class white guy will be there and is finally excited about a Summerfest act for the first time in a while.
